Radiation therapy‐associated toxicity: Etiology, management, and prevention
Ca-A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, 2021 Radiation therapy (RT) is a curative treatment for many malignancies and provides effective palliation in patients with tumor‐related symptoms. However, the biophysical effects of RT are not specific to tumor cells and may produce toxicity due to ...

Deep learning method for prediction of patient-specific dose distribution in breast cancer
Radiation Oncology, 2021 Background Patient-specific dose prediction improves the efficiency and quality of radiation treatment planning and reduces the time required to find the optimal plan. In this study, a patient-specific dose prediction model was developed for a left-sided

Bio-Inspired Strategies for Optimizing Radiation Therapy under Uncertainties [PDF]
2023, 2023 Radiation therapy is a critical component of cancer treatment. However, the delivery of radiation poses inherent challenges, particularly in minimizing radiation exposure to healthy organs surrounding the tumor site. One significant contributing factor to this challenge is the patient's respiration, which introduces uncertainties in the precise ...

Microenvironment and Radiation Therapy [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2013 Dependency on tumor oxygenation is one of the major features of radiation therapy and this has led many radiation biologists and oncologists to focus on tumor hypoxia. The first approach to overcome tumor hypoxia was to improve tumor oxygenation by increasing oxygen delivery and a subsequent approach was the use of radiosensitizers in combination with ...
